Broker have maximum lotsize of 100 Lots. How to work...
-
Hello,
my broker has the maimum lotsize of 100 Lots per order.
If the ea calculate for a trade the lotsize of 179 Lots the ea have to open as buy trades to orders: 100 Lot + 79 Lot.
If the ea calculate for a trade the lotsize of 579 Lots the ea have to open as buy trades to orders: 5 times 100 Lot + onestime 79 Lot.
How can I implement this?
Can you give a simple example as MQL4 Source-File, please?regards,

Do you really have this situation? Because if the maximum is really 100 lots, I think that there are also other limits that will most probably prevent you to open even those 100 lots.

Yes, it is a centaccount. For some ea´s are the centaccounts conditions are better than the standardaccount conditions. The ea can differenciate lotsizes better: factor 1.000pcs/10pcs = 100
You can open more accounts with differend pairs and so you can share the risks. In a lot of accounts can run more ea´s as in one, so the tradingfrequencies are (100) higher, profit-taking frequency are faster and so on...

DieterPS.: the maximum is 1000 standardlots for IC Markets

Yes, 1000 is the the maximum value for most brokers, but you probably need to have millions to be able to open such lots, but this will probably never happen
-
The ea do not need millons. 20.000 Euro are sufficient to handle 1000 pcs of the base-currency in the centaccounts.
How can I implement the above mentioned?
Can you give a simple example as MQL4 Source-File, please?I do not know what the future will bring.
I live at present - it is simple. -
I don't have idea to make this thing possible, it just doesn't sound like something important to me. I think that this is something complex that will never be actually used (nobody asked for this before). It's more important for you to find why this EA is giving you too good results. This happens sometimes, but in these cases the EA is most probably exploiting some defect of the Tester

ok., the system has a border.
it is a live one and runs since 2011 on a few pairs -
What, you are controlling millions? I don't believe that, but in any case if you ever decide to control big amounts of money, be sure that you have extra functions in your EA to protect the trades in weird situations. For example, if a the equity falls X% below the balance => terminate the EA. Or similar, it depends on the EA. Be extra careful.
